Plan your development with future proof solutions
At planning stage (Masterplan and Pre-Design), cost of change is very low, we support your project in defining the right strategy and implementing the right technologies and systems with quantified scenarios on the whole value chain of energy.
Our missions
-
Low carbon energy and mobility masterplan
-
Pre-design of the local energy system
-
Decarbonisation of uses (heat, transport)
-
Renewable development and flexibility
Areas of expertise
Our holistic approach combines knowledge from across sectors
-
Carbon
Determine your net zero pathway
-
Energy
Optimise your systems and its management
-
Value
Understand the green value of your assets
-
Climate change
Produce decarbonisation and energy resilience plans
-
Community benefits
Articulate circular economy action plans
Use Cases
The need: ensuring a new development of 2,500+ homes is net zero
The client: a developer
-
Diagnosis
What are the needs?
- Identify the energy needs based on building uses and typologies
-
Benchmarking
Where are we at? Are we meeting / exceeding requirements
- Regulation and initiatives to take into account for compliance and / or external recognition
- Alignment to local energy plan
-
Evaluation
What are our options and how do they perform?
- Design of strategy to achieve 15 kwh/m2/year of building heating requirements in line with the Future Homes Standard (2024 ready)
- Use of V2G to cover up to more than 100% of all load costs / 22,400 MW flex/year, arbitration of 4,200 MW flex/year for DSO and 22,000 MW flex/year for FR excluding opportunity costs that would contribute to significantly reduce value
-
Business case development
How will we pay for this?
- Assess business models to optimise cost and implementation
-
Implementation
How we will rool this out?
- Develop data dashboards to support stakeholder engagement and decision-making
The need: understanding options to transition from gas boilers to low- and zero- carbon alternatives
The client: a developer
-
Diagnosis
What are the needs?
- Identify space heating and hot water needs based on building uses and typologies
-
Benchmarking
Where are we at? Are we meeting / exceeding requirements
- Provide insight on current and expected policy requirements (e.g. Future Home Standards, ban on gas boilers)
- Provide insight on the leading technologies and their deployment
-
Evaluation
What are our options and how do they perform?
- Identify suitable, policy-compliant centralised and decentralised systems
- Simulate the performance of those systems on your site to evaluate their strenghts and weakenesses
-
Business case development
How will we pay for this?
- Estimate the range of investment required to deliver systems, as well as operational costs and savings
- Estimate a high-level return on investment for those systems
-
Implementation
How we will rool this out?
- Adivise on partners that can develop, oerate and maintain systems
- Engage with local and regional stakeholders, such as the local authorities and IDNO/DNO

Net Zero Energy Strategy
Urban&Civic appointed Urbanomy, on behalf of the Wellcome Trust, to define a bespoke energy strategy for the Wellcome Genome Campus (WGC) to support its ambition of delivering its carbon net zero target before 2050.
Environmental analysis for an ecodistrict
Urbanomy is assisting the Agglomération Hénin-Carvin in the development of the Sainte-Henriette ecodistrict, through an environmental analysis.
Supporting local carbon neutral strategy
We conducted a projecr for Oxfordshire County Council, as part of Project LEO (Local Energy Oxfordshire). The methodology has been developed in a replicable way to benefit for other similar development.
